Agile development gets more appreciation from the market due to its flexible nature and high productivity. Scrum provides better management of the processes as compared to other agile modes. Scrum model has several features and strengths but still it lacks in engineering practices and quality. This research deals with the improvement of Scrum processes for better management and quality of software using the infusion of different practices from internationally renowned capability maturity model integration (CMMI) quality standard. Survey is used as a research design to validate the proposed framework. Statistical analysis shows that there is a profound effect on Scrum model due to the proposed research developing high quality software.

Agile methods are introduced in software industry to develop products to satisfy customers as per changing requirements in short time, cheaper cost and without sacrificing quality [1]. It is still being explored by researchers even further improvements are reported about the applicability of agile methods and practices [1]. The well-known existing agile methodologies are Crystal, Extreme Programming (XP), Dynamic Systems Development Methods (DSDM), Feature driven development (FDD) and Lean software development [2]. Extreme Programming (XP) emphasizes to develop projects successfully with high quality working in pairs. XP has many advantages like short iterations, communication with customer on the spot, constant integration and testing. Weak documentation is an issue that is faced in XP methodology to use it for development of medium/large and reengineering projects. FDD supports to work individually rather than team’s work. Lean methodology tailors software processes according to organizational needs. It focuses return over investment (ROI) and cost of project but it does not specify how to achieve high performance and collect requirements in advance [2].
Scrum is widely used in different companies [1].
